28 weeks 6 days I just want to say how much I LOVE freckle chocolates! Its all I seem to think (and eat) about! They just taste so good. I got my workmate to get me a packet while she was at the shop LOL. I love sucking on them until you feel the sprinkles separate! haha Here's my love:

28 weeks 5 days Just thought I would post my most recent belly pic. My tummy has been feeling really tight and Im starting to not be able to see my hoo ha! The belly just seems to get in the way! But you know what? Apart from the constant peeing and aches and pains, I LOVE being pregnant. I feel so womanly! And theres something beautiful about having my son inside me, growing stronger every day. I cant wait to meet him! Im gonna shower him with love...

28 weeks 4 days Last night Elliot and I went to our first "birthing" class but this class was more to do with physio. When we first got there a few pregnant chickies arrived and they had big bellies on them. I started worrying that maybe they booked me into the wrong class or the wrong date cause it looked like these girls should be learning how to push out their bubbas. When we got in the teacher asked us to say a little about ourselves and how far along we were. I was shocked to see that the girls were only about 27 weeks! One lady didnt even look pregnant and she was 28 weeks. Just goes to show how different woman carry. We learnt all about posture and looking after our backs, and how to do pelvic floor muscles. We also spoke about complications that may happen with our body during pregnancy and how to ease discomfort. It was quite good actually but Im looking forward to our weekend workshop at the end of August. This will be to do with getting through labour, the birth, b...

27 weeks 5 days On Sunday arvo Ell left for Inverell again. I think this will be a regular job for him, but I hope his next trip isnt when bubs is due! I dont think I could let him go LOL Its been pretty boring at home by myself! Its funny how much more safer you feel when your partner is home with you. Especially at night! LOL I always freak myself by looking in the hallway like a man is suddenly going to appear.... :) Its ok though, he leaves tomorrow morning and will be back tomorrow arvo. YAY! Well last Saturday (5th July) I went and had my Gestational Diabetes blood test done. I had to drink a small container of this lemondae type drink. It wasnt as bad as I thought it would be. It just got very sweet at the end. Ell waited with me and then we went off and did some stuff. An hour later I went back and had the blood test - OUCH! I hate needles, but I guess thats something I should get used to. I'll get to hear my results next Tuesday when I go (and Ell too) and see Dr. Fiona Da...

26 weeks 4 days Just a quick post tonight. Its 8.50pm and Im pretty tired! Not much has been happening lately. I thought I would weigh myself as the other October Mummies I chat to on maternal were discussing ho much weight they have put on so far. A lot of them were between 8-11kg. I weighed myself and I have put on 2.5kg. Im trying not to let this worry me, as every says every pregnancy is different and my body is doing its thing. Another bonus is I havent got any stretchmarks yet...yet that is! I'm still moisturing myself 2 times a day and dont plan to stop. Hopefully Ill get lucky. My back is becoming very sore now. Especially at night when Im bending over whilst tidying up or trying to get off the lounge after laying down. I want to enquire and see if there is a place that does massage for pregnancy woman thats covered by my private health insurance... I ordered a grobag a week ago and it arrived in the mail the other day. I got the 1 TOG 0-6 months little pirate one. It seems...
